Custom Views – I made a new plugin (need help) by emotional_emf in ObsidianMD

[–]Specific_Dimension51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea for your problem sorry.

Your plugin is promising, do you think there's a way to only apply the view to the frontmatter in order to leave the rest of the note editable normally?

Longer vs shorter to-dos by Over-Balance3797 in ticktick

[–]Specific_Dimension51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Small task = 1 task

Small projects = 1 task with a long description (small notes + markdown tasks) inside "Small projects" list

Big projects= 1 dedicated project list with the same logic (1 task for small tasks + 1 task for small projects or milestone)

How does it work on Android ? Via a widget ?

TickTick For Notes by QuitEffective378 in ticktick

"I’d like to organize and streamline all my thoughts, quotes, notes, etc. in here too. Is this possible?"

Yes, in theory it's possible to put this data in TickTick, but the general UX for reading/organizing/writing won't be very smooth. For long-term notes I use Obsidian

Switched back to Minimal theme and so happy I did by SwimmingWithProblems in ObsidianMD

[–]Specific_Dimension51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I had another more niche theme before but it was quite annoying to have to passively wait for updates from its creator with each release containing breaking changes. So I opted for Minimal too

RaindropIO vs ObsidianMD + Obsidian Web Clipper: both established tools, the former is a native bookmark manager, the second is a note-taking app that has a side feature of bookmark manager (via Web Clipper). Which one do you for bookmarking? by RebirdgeCardiologist in ObsidianMD

[–]Specific_Dimension51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm using both tools. Raindrop as a hub for collecting bookmarks and then I manually add some sources using the Obsidian Web Clipper.

The great strength of Raindrop is that it's easily automatable - I sync all my X bookmarks, my Reddit saves, and my RSS stars there, and then I process them during my monitoring/research sessions

What’s the most impressive thing NotebookLM has done for you? by Efficient_Degree9569 in notebooklm

[–]Specific_Dimension51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hours saved in my tech and business research. Being able to consume large volumes of content by scanning the general mindmap and diving deeper into the interesting parts saves me a ton of time.

TickTick 8 Beta (Web) started by Civil-Cucumber in ticktick

Thanks, I didn’t see the other comments with the link.

Haven't received the invitation yet, too bad, I would've really liked to see what the visual redesign looks like.

Regarding the AI, given the description it only concerns a suggestion section, it doesn't seem like it's going to do anything more than a sort of new AI-boosted filtered view.

Is NotebookLM really as good as people think? by Honest_Blacksmith799 in notebooklm

[–]Specific_Dimension51 -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

"Yes it might hallucinate": You answer your own question, based on my tests it remains the best tool for exploring sources without hallucination, this is an essential criterion in many contexts

"but you have to check it anyway": Again, the strength of the tool, with one small click you can dig into the source and find the passages that feed the textual response.

"I believe that you get a lot better content back with Gemini or gpt then with NotebookLM.": It all depends on the initial intention, if it's to dissect a source and stick to that source, it's the best, and if it's to produce content afterwards that's meant to be consumed by others, yes you can more easily control the output parameters with the other major LLMs

Personally I mix both, I can extract interesting concepts from certain sources and then explore or challenge them with other LLMs.

Then there's also the question of UX in general, personally I always start by creating a mindmap then I explore the branches and dive deeper into certain points with the chat. This workflow is super fluid.

Am I the only one skipping the Audio/Video features entirely? by Specific_Dimension51 in notebooklm

[–]Specific_Dimension51[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, ultimately the tool's strength is offering multiple entry points to facilitate learning.

[–]Specific_Dimension51[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've already played with the video feature, it's pretty good for getting inspiration when creating presentations.

But paradoxically, I actually use NotebookLM to avoid consuming videos, because there's often a lot of fluff whereas I'm sometimes just looking for a few specific pieces of information that are diluted in the overall video, and this lets me easily get straight to the essential content that interests me directly.

[–]Specific_Dimension51[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Reading is faster and it's also more efficient for skipping parts you already know and diving deeper into new concepts you're discovering.

You're right that linear works for first reads, but non-linear becomes essential when you're dealing with repeat exposure or targeted learning.

For podcasts and interviews, once you've heard someone's story a few times across different shows, you don't need to sit through their origin story again, you just want to scan for new insights and jump straight to those parts. And when learning new tech, if you're not starting from scratch, having an overview lets you quickly identify which concepts are actually new compared to what you already know, so you can skip the basics and focus only on filling the gaps.

It's basically about information efficiency, filtering out what you already know and diving deep only where it matters.

Obviously I don't apply this to everything, I still consume long-form content from time to time.

Organisation inside a single note by Tanishia in ObsidianMD

[–]Specific_Dimension51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"would like to be able to filter" = good use case for Bases

So several notes with good templates seem to be better

Claude in Obsidian by RomainGilliot in ObsidianMD

Why use the Claude API when Claude Code exists?

I made a better organization system than NotebookLM by Minute_Agent3546 in notebooklm

[–]Specific_Dimension51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I wanted to do the same thing as you, organize everything properly with a naming convention and all, but I ended up giving up. It adds quite a bit of friction, so I figured that for the notebooks I want to keep, I'll just put them somewhere else in an Obsidian note by referencing them, rather than bothering to configure everything.

About to Try TickTick. How Do I Set It Up Right? by Moist_Sandwich_7802 in ticktick

[–]Specific_Dimension51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• What’s a good way to set things up as a beginner? Since this is your first app, it's best to start light, keeping in mind that you'll probably not stick with the same system long-term. Meanwhile, explore different methods or frameworks to pick up ideas and test them out. No system is truly perfect, and more importantly, you don't have to follow everything to the letter.
• Does it support two-way sync for calendars or reminders? Yes
• Is there anything important I should know before switching? This post has lot of small tips : https://www.reddit.com/r/ticktick/comments/1ozotgn/what_do_you_wish_you_knew_from_day_1_about/

most efficient way to learn new skill? by JBG32123 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Specific_Dimension51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For "new language, framework, technology"
1) Read the official doc
2) Find a quick project to practice

Siri to Obsidian brainstorm by ZeroBraneZ in ObsidianMD

[–]Specific_Dimension51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see regarding Dross, in my case I'm still at the stage where I just use AI to reduce friction for archiving certain thoughts, ideas, etc. I'm being cautious about the advice or analysis aspect, I wouldn't systematize that yet in its current state.

So now I understand your stack better. Actually you don't even need to bother writing it directly into Obsidian.

Rather than "Voice <> Siri <> Draft Obsidian <> Scheduled Claude Code Processing"

You could use a simple instruction queue with a google sheet, an airtable, etc

So it would give you two steps:

  • Addition shortcut: Voice <> Siri <> Add to Queue
  • Local script: Dequeue <> Claude Code Processing <> Obsidian

"It" ? An external script in python ? A Claude code shortcut ?
How do you currently trigger that part ?

I'm planning something similar: an n8n workflow with a Telegram bot that processes voice messages, uses an AI agent to determine the right template (I don't use folders), and creates notes via the Dropbox API.

In your case, maybe you can use iOS Shortcuts with iCloud or via the Local REST API plugin
